I think our prayers have been heard. The visor seems to have been made in mirror finish.

I have ordered mine from Hobby Link Japan.

MOL

I received this kit last week after ordering it from HobbyLink Japan. With shipping, it came to about $75.

I put the kit together over the weekend - it took a total of about six hours. The nice thing is no glue is required, and very little painting, mainly the snoopy cap and the PGT.

There are markings on the decal sheet for several different missions, but I decided to make mine Claude Nicollier from STS-103. There are optional parts for the SAFER, but since this was a Hubble Space Telescope mission, the EVA astronauts did not wear a SAFER since they were confined to the payload bay.

It is really a great model, and well worth the money!

I have just picked up mine a couple of hours ago. It cost me 81 Euros in all, VAT included. It looks great just like MOL said. I particularly like the visor in gold mirror finish. It should look great near my Bandai Endeavour Shuttle.

Snap together or is there any glue needed?

Very well done Pascal. I am sure that this is one of your quickest assembly. How did you manage to do the base that fast?

Good luck with your work, I always find pleasure looking at your models.

Thanks alexbaja. The base is not difficult, a nice piece of tropical wood and some paint and details, and it give this model more stability, but the next one I will fill up the gap's between arm and legs, hands, for a more realer look .

My pleasure, that is a good idea filling the joints, but the model would have to be made in a fixed position.

It would be nice to make a diorama with parts of a shuttle or maybe a Canadarm etc.

Yep, you can all directions on now, two astronauts working on selfmade hardware, etc. etc.

Great work, I really like the stand!

That mirrored visor looks superb! I'm so glad they decided to use that one.

And have you considered using a flexible material over the joints to conceal the joints while allowing them to be adjusted? It would be shame to have to glue and fill all the joints.
